Timothy Snyder discusses On Tyranny

The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience.

Timothy Snyder is the Levin Professor of History at Yale University. He is the author of "Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin" and "Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning". Snyder is a member of the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and a permanent fellow of the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna.
